Dr. Jeff HershDaily News CorrespondentQ: When I am in a dark place for a while and then get exposed to sunlight, I sneeze. The exact genetics of the ACHOO syndrome are not (yet) known; it is believed to be a condition inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion (if you get the gene from either parent you will have the ACHOO syndrome). The ACHOO syndrome is not the only example of a (supposed) cross-reaction between a body function and the sneezing reflex. So, if you seem to sneeze after being exposed to bright light, you are not alone! Although there is no treatment available for the ACHOO syndrome, learning about it can help you avoid possible dangerous situations.
